    Email sent to two contact addresses for Qingdao Zhongtai Oceanic Fishery Co. Ltd.

    The email asked the company for a comment from both itself, as the owner of the Lu Huang Yuang Yu 118, and the captain of the Lu Huang Yuan Yu 118 on the following: In 2020, several Indonesian deckhands called a hotline to complain about severe beatings at sea and to report the presence of a body in one of the Lu Huang Yuan Yu 118's freezers. An autopsy revealed that the man had sustained bruises, scarring, and a spinal injury. Indonesian authorities sentenced several manning-agency executives to more than a year in prison for labor trafficking.
